answer text <p>We are closely following developments in Afrin and wider north-western Syria. The UK has only occasional contact with the PYD, which we use to discuss the situation in Syria.</p><p>We are calling for de-escalation and protection of civilians. While recognising Turkey's legitimate interest in the security of its borders, it remains in our shared interest to focus on achieving a political settlement that ends the war and suffering, and provides stability for all Syrians and the wider region, and secures the enduring defeat of Daesh – in which the Syrian Democratic Forces have played a vital role.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​We are urging the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government to resolve their differences at every opportunity. Officials at our Posts in Iraq are pressing this message, as are UK ministers. The Foreign Secretary spoke to Prime Minister Abadi on 6 February and emphasised the need for an agreement on the management of border security, thereby enabling international flights into the Kurdistan Region to re-start. The Prime Minister also raised this issue during her visit to Iraq in November 2017, as i did in my conversation with Prime Minister Abadi on 17th February.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Foreign &amp; Commonwealth Office is committed to ensuring that clear and accessible information is available for UK nationals living, working and travelling overseas, including in the EU. Our Embassies engage regularly with British citizens living in their host Member States. Particularly since the EU Referendum, we have been reaching out to UK nationals in the EU at frequent meetings, events and online. We are encouraging UK nationals to follow the ‘UK nationals in the EU’ page on <a href="http://www.gov.uk/" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a> and to follow Embassy social media channels for the latest information on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. We are also planning for a further EU-wide public communications campaign for UK nationals in the EU when the practical implications of the Withdrawal Agreement have been finalised.</p> more like this
